BuyMyTronics: Turn Your Old Gadgets Into Cash

19 Aug 2008

BuyMyTronics has taken the mission of turning your old electronics into cash. Their website claims to buy old cell phones, game systems, MP3 players, and what-have-you, and pay “top dollar” for it–within 48 hours of receipt, either via PayPal or via a check.

Personally, my favorite way to recycle things: give them away to people that need it. I’ve done this with servicable computers and mobile phones for years. It doesn’t cost me anything (except maybe shipping).

Of course, at some point, all these items become destined to be recycled. It’d be nice to get some cash for them versus having to pay to have them recycled. Of course, even with this scheme, you’re paying shipping, though hopefully you’ll get some of it back.
